pimple Posts: 490 Joined: 2003/07/08	2004/01/29, 05:31 PM um... just read the nutrition facts on the box and see what they have on them... i'm not too familliar with what they're made off, but i'd assume they're low in protein, so maybe throwing in some egg whites or peanut butter shouldn't be too bad...

Eggo's are mad high in calories, fat and carbs from what I remember. If your getting the low-fat or whole grain waffles then they are okay, but I would just stick clear of them as a regular breakfast item. Use them as a once in while treat and your fine. Hehe, and don't drench them in butter either :P -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

JessicaR Posts: 467 Joined: 2002/08/12	2004/02/03, 11:17 AM I got some Splenda syrup to put on oatmeal pancakes. I'll be honest, though - it's not too good. LOL
agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2004/02/03, 12:15 PM Total has a new cereal. Its called Total Protein. 13g protein per serving and fairly low in fat and carbs. Tastes like crap. Needs fruit or something. Again the problem has to do with the milk. Alot of sugar. I've got to where I eat plain oatmeal mixed with strawberries or blueberries. Didn't like it at first but I'm really getting used to it, especially with cinnamon on it.

Been eating it pretty regular for about a week; shouldn't the ole intestinal walls be cleaned out by now...Sorry about the description, but damn!!!!
goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/02/03, 03:08 PM Im not a big breakfast eater whenever I wake up im not really hungry and if I do eat I end up sick. A quick MRP drink would probably be my best bet. I found these ones at the store it only has like 1 gram of fat and under 100 calories but w/ 10 grams of protein. Mix that w/ something small and I should be set.

I increased my fiber intake over the summer and stayed pretty busy for a week or so. Hang in there. You know what they say, "The key to a happy life is a healthy colon."

It's a day where you'll eat pancakes ("crêpes") and celebrate the sun comming back (from winter). Of course we had crêpes too (I actually made them with soy milk and protein powder). Hmmm delicious!
